if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send, i think
post it in scam watch
wait for confirmations
stablecoin while pending

do the fee maths

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
unrelated but i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time, take that with a pinch of salt
[edited]keep the reference
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
no escrow here
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
ok so do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
sorry to jump in whats a reasonable network fee to accept
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
genuine question the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
right so a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, for what its worth
triple check it
thats a scam pattern
polite message usually fixes it

unrelated but work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, still working it out
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
discount is standard now
update from 2 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
no chargebacks
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send

*PeptideMeter not the other one
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
polite message usually fixes it

network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
